About Us
Founded in 2015, we are a bible-based organization led by volunteers. We provide classes and fellowship events to enrich your home learning. Our goal is to have fun and build friendships while serving the Lord. We believe in homeschooling as family. It takes everyone working together to have a successful, low-cost program.
A commitment in both attendance and participation is required. Parents must be willing to teach a class; however, you may not always be placed as a teacher.
We have limited space for new families. Applications are processed in order received and approved based on space availability, willingness to teach, and background check results.

What's bible-based mean?
Knowing our members come from different religious backgrounds, we use the Bible to guide us. We believe God leads us as we homeschool together. We recognize parents as the primary educator of their own children (Proverbs 22:6); therefore we have the following teaching guidelines:
- We do not allow discussion about specific denominations/religions. Exception: Allowed only for historical teaching purposes
- God means the person of the Christian Bible who exists as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Bible is considered God's infalliable Word.
- No controversial topics that could lead to discord.
- Marriage is between one man and one woman.

Can special need students attend?
Yes, but contact us before applying to know if we're able to fully accommodate. For mobility needs, the building is single story (no stairs).
I'm busy on class days, but a friend attends co-op. Can I send my child(ren) with them?
Yes, but please discuss with us before applying. Each family must pay their own membership fees.
How do I apply?
Click here for application. New families are approved based on space availablity, class ideas/willingness to volunteer, and background check results. No payment required until application is approved.
Can I see classes before applying?
Unfortunately, no. That's because we can't create the class schedule until families apply and offer class ideas. We're all taking a "leap of faith" that parents offer good classes (and they do!).
When is class schedule posted?
About a week after application period ends. Class registration starts shortly after.
Are classes academic?
Our classes are considered fun electives that are meant to supplement your home learning. Occassionally, we offer classes worthy of course credit but do not issue grades.
How many students per class?
We require five students for a class to "make" and not be cancelled. Maximum class size is usually 10-12 students (depends on grade).
Is there homework?
We try not to offer classes that require homework, but sometimes it's necessary in middle-high school grades.
What if I don't want to teach?
Without all of us helping out, there would be no co-op. We also understand feeling reluctanct to teach especially if this is your first time. Talk to us and we'll try to find an area best suited for you.
What can I teach?
Almost anything! Think about your interests, experience, skills and talents. Then, consider what grade level you would enjoy teaching. Many parents offer what they already planned to do with their child at home.
Do I get paid to teach?
No, but you do earn volunteer credit for every class you lead teach. When it's time to register for classes, those with 2 or more volunteer credits register before others. So the more you teach, the better your chance at being able to enroll in popular classes before they fill.
What will I do while my child is in class?
One parent/guardian must stay on-site while classes are in session. When not teaching, you volunteer as a teacher helper, nursery worker, or floater. Teacher helpers are needed for security reasons; plus, they fill-in if teacher is absent. Floaters have no permanent assignment. Instead, they show up at co-op and help out wherever they're needed most that day (fill-in helper, cleaner, etc)
